Francis Selormey (1927 - 1983) will probably always be remembered for his excellent novel, The Narrow Path. Selormey, a Ghanaian, was
a novelist, teacher, scriptwriter and sports administrator. He attended a
Catholic primary school, and then St. Augustine's College, Cape Coast. He went
on to study further at the University of Ghana and in Germany before becoming a
teacher. He was an excellent Sports administrator. The Narrow Path: An African
Childhood, was hailed by pundits as rather semi-autobiographical; a
Bildungsroman of a Ghanaian school boy who is "caught between his love for
an overly strict father who insists on Christian, Western ways and his own
appreciation for other, traditional influences."
